Making Your Home a Haven: Mini-challenges completed!

  Tags:

Well! I am too tired to post my photos, but am pleased to be able to say that today I tackled piles of clothes and laundry, made a phone call that I'd been procrastinating about, and set the timer for 15 minutes and started deep-cleaning the bathrooms (which took more like an hour, but oh well!).

I also had a fun walk with the children, exploring 2 new (to us) parks and finding a couple geocaches. I don't know how many parks are within walking distance from us but we're still finding new ones! Amazing! :) (Less than 2 miles away is about what I consider walking distance for the kids and me. I just looked on a map and there are 11!)

Maybe I'll have time to share photos from our day tomorrow. :) Thank you to everyone who played along with my challenges! :)

Geocaching

Tammy,

We had never heard of geocaching until you mentioned 'going on a hunt' a couple weeks ago. I started investigating and fell in love with the idea.

Our family has been on *8* hunts since then...I told my parents about it and they've gone 4 times.

Hubby isn't too fond of aimlessly walking in the woods, but I can't think of anything more fun. Geocaching is the perfect compromise for us!!! He loves the challenge, and I'm just thrilled to be walking around in the woods!!

Thanks!

Geocaching fun!

Oh, fun! :) Joshua hasn't been geocaching with us (yet) because he just doesn't see the point of rummaging around in blackberry bushes or walking around in circles for 20 minutes looking for a little paper to sign. ;)

I, however, love the motivation to get some exercise while walking to new areas and trying to use my investigative skills to locate a hidden object. ;)

I'm glad I was able to spread the fun your way! My boys LOVE the larger "treasure box" caches where they can trade in for a new toy or trinket! :)

P.S. If you have a username on geocaching.com, email it to me so I can add you as a friend! :)
